Enjoying color mixing with Gouache

For this painting I used:
Brilliant Red (Reeves), Ultramarine (Reeves), Blue Lake (Reeves), Golden yellow (Lascaux) and White (Lucas Nerchau).

 I tried to mix a darker red with adding Ultramarine to the Brilliant Red; I also mixed Blue Lake with a bit of Ultramarine in order to reduce its greenish hue. I did not do test swatches as I consider all these paintings to be test or practice paintings. I allow myself potential failures - after all every painting I do will teach me something. 

I also noticed that I enjoy every painting I do and that I am looking forward to every new one I will do. I do not know how long this joy will last - but just now I am very happy with it.
